Yesterday, the sirens didn't even wake me. But my phone ringing downstairs did. I ran to get it. Kirsten, i thought... oh, no, something is wrong with the healing of her wisdom teeth extractions!!
On the way to the phone, i noticed the red flashy lights. Parked half on our lawn and half on Deb & Carl's lawn was a fire department SUV, engine running. Yipes, was my next thought... Deb & Carl decided to divorce in a blaze of glory, as it were.
Didn't get to the phone in time. Was indeed Kirsten.
I went upstairs, woke
(e:Uncutsaniflush) and told him there was an emergency vehicle (yeah, those were the words i used at 7am -- emergency vehicle) on our front lawn. Huh, i think, was his response.
We got on clothing more appropriate for being out of doors and went to see what was going on.
What was going on was the house 4 doors down -- there's us, Deb & Carl, then Kirsten, then Kirsten's landlords-- was still smoking. The people on the other side of them called the fire department. Something about showering at 5am and not used to it being smoky, i think...
The house was vacant. Not many of those on our block. This house was in forclosure. The dude that owned it bought it or got it from his grandmother i found out today. When, or just before, it was being forclosed on, he gutted the place. Took everything. Light fixtures, all the kitchen cabnets, bathroom stuff. Weeny.
And now, it burned down. I wonder how that happened.........
This morning, 8am. Banging. Damn. Is someone trying to break into our place. Nope.
They are tearing down the burned out house. Making lots of noise. Boo on them. I wanted to sleep in this morning.
Thanks for the congrats!
And thanks, too, for letting us know you got home safe and sound, (e:Twisted) . Sorry to hear about the 4 hour delay!
Oh... (e:Theecarey) ... trust you to think i got a part time job getting spanked!!
hehe, I thought you were insinuating that your new 'part time' job had to do something with the picture that is posted. Pray for your feet? mmm, wrong body part, dear. haha
but then I re-read it. :)
I am thinking that whatever your actual new part time job is (congrats), wont be nearly as exciting as I just thought. haha
Great picture! LOVE IT!
Hey Lee! I just got home. My connecting flight was stuck in Chicago long enough to need refueling before finally taking off four hours late. Too bad my layover wasn't in Minneapolis with imk2!
Great to finally meet you and all the other peeps in person!
